or state in some manner other than as a simple fact the modal nouns are mostly names of qualities or states they are similar to modal verbs in a way that they also express modal meaning however they are different from modal verbs in the way they are used in a sentence modal verbs are used to add information to the main verb while modal nouns name a quality state or condition that state modality read a table below that shows more examples of modal nouns their meanings and sample sentences modal noun possibility meaning the condition or fact of being possible sample sentence there is a possibility of rain tomorrow obligation a condition or feeling of being obligated or required students have an obligation to study hard necessity the quality or state of being in need nowadays mobile

and other adverbs adverbs can tell you more information about a verb such as how something is done or when or to what extent some examples of adverbs used in sentences are a if jane works hard she shall surely or certainly get the title in the pageant shirley modifies the modal expression shall get which shows certainty letter b jane's friends are eagerly rooting for her to win eagerly modifies the verb phrase r rooting to add emphasis letter c the people will likely or possibly vote for jane in an online survey likely modifies the modal verb expression will vote that shows possibility modal adverbs are a specific group of adverbs that add additional meaning to modal verbs they are used to modify specific verbs that consist of a linking verb or verb of being and sometimes another verb previously we learned that modal verbs include can could may might must shall should will and would adverbs that modify these verbs say something about possibility certainty and emphasis look at these sentences the italicized words are the modal adverbs while the underlined words are the modal verbs they modify i really might be going to the party on saturday surely you can't mean to vote for that candidate it is likely that matt will get an a in chemistry one way of thinking about modal adverbs is to consider how likely is something to happen [Music] here are a few more sentences using modal adverbs to add to the meaning that controversial amendment surely won't pass undoubtedly the huge number of protests have had an effect on support for the amendment can you recognize the connection
